His skin was pale and his [00:01:55]eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen [00:02:00]who never thereafter were heard of again.

[00:03:25]UNKNOWNThe demon barber of Fleet Street.[00:03:30][music][00:04:00]UNKNOWNAttend the tale of Sweeney Todd. [00:04:05]He served a dark and a vengeful [00:04:10]god. What happened then, [00:04:15]well, that's the play, and he wouldn't want us to give it away. [00:04:20]Not Sweeney. Not Sweeney Todd, [00:04:25]the demon barber of Fleet [00:04:30]Street.[00:04:35][sil.][00:05:10]AnthonyI have sailed the world, beheld its wonders [00:05:15]from the Dardenells to the mountains of Peru, but there's no [00:05:20]place like London! I feel [00:05:25]home again. I could hear the city [00:05:30]bells ring whatever I would do. No, there's noSweeney ToddPlace like London![00:05:35]AnthonyMr. Todd, sir?Sweeney ToddYou are young. Life has [00:05:40]been kind to you. [00:05:45]You will learn.[00:05:50][sil.][00:05:55]Sweeney ToddIt is here we go our several ways. Farewell,[00:06:00]Anthony. I will not soon forget the good ship Bountiful nor the young man who saved my life.[00:06:05]AnthonyThere's no cause to thank me for that, sir. It would have been a poor Christian indeed [00:06:10]who'd have spotted you pitching and tossing on that raft and not given the alarm.Sweeney ToddThere's many a Christian would have done [00:06:15]just that and not lost a wink's sleep for it, either.UNKNOWNAlms, alms for a miserable [00:06:20]woman on [00:06:25]a miserable chill morn! [00:06:30]Thank you, sir. Thank you! How would you like [00:06:35]a little muff, dear, a little jig, dear, a little bounce around the bush? Wouldn't you [00:06:40]like to push me parsley? It looks to me, dear, like you've got plenty there to [00:06:45]push! Alms, alms for a pitiful [00:06:50]woman what's got wandering wits? [00:06:55]Hey, don't I know you, mister?[00:07:00]Sweeney ToddMust you glare at me, woman? Off with you! Off, I say!UNKNOWNThen how would [00:07:05]you like to split me muff, mister? We'll go jig, jig, jigSweeney ToddOff, I said. To the devil with you![00:07:10][sil.][00:07:15]UNKNOWNAlms, alms [00:07:20]for a pitiful woman?[00:07:25]AnthonyPardon me, sir, [00:07:30]but there's no need to fear the likes of her. She was only a half-crazed beggar woman. London's [00:07:35]full of them.[00:07:40]Sweeney ToddYes. There's a hole in the world like a great black pit, and the vermin of the world inhabit [00:07:45]it, and its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit, and it goes by the name of "London". [00:07:50]At the top of the hole sit the privileged few, making mock of the vermin in the lower zoo, turning beauty into filth and greed. [00:07:55]I too have sailed the world and seen its wonders, for [00:08:00]the cruelty of men is as wondrous as Peru. But there's no place like London![00:08:05][sil.][00:08:15]Sweeney ToddThere was a barber [00:08:20]and his wife, and she was beautiful. [00:08:25]A foolish barber and his wife. She was his reason [00:08:30]and his life, and [00:08:35]she was beautiful. And she was [00:08:40]virtuous. And he was [00:08:45]naive.[00:08:50][sil.][00:08:55]Sweeney ToddThere was another man who [00:09:00]saw that she was beautiful, a pious [00:09:05]vulture of the law who with a gesture of his claw removed the [00:09:10]barber from his plate. Then there was nothing [00:09:15]but to wait and she would fall, so soft, [00:09:20]so young, so lost, and oh, so beautiful![00:09:25]AnthonyAnd the lady, sir? Did she [00:09:30]succumb?[00:09:35]Sweeney Todd Oh, that was many years ago. [00:09:40]I doubt if anyone would know. [00:09:45]Now, leave me, Anthony, I beg of you. There's someplace I must go, something I must do [00:09:50]now, and alone.AnthonyBut surely we will meet again before I'm off to Plymouth.Sweeney ToddIf you want, you may well find me. [00:09:55]Around Fleet Street, [00:10:00]I wouldn't wonder.[00:10:05]AnthonyWell, until then, Mr. Todd.[00:10:10][sil.][00:10:15]Sweeney ToddThere's a hole in the world [00:10:20]like a great black pit, and it's filled with people who are filled with shit, and the vermin of the world inhabit it.[00:10:25][music][00:10:55]Mrs. LovettA customer! Oh, wait! What's your rush? What's your hurry? [00:11:00]You gave me such a fright. I thought you was a ghost. Half a minute. Can't you sit? Sit you down. Sit! All I meant is that [00:11:05]I hadn't seen a customer for weeks. Did you come here for a pie, sir? Do forgive me [00:11:10]if me head's a little vague. Ugh, what is that? But you'd think we had the plague from the way [00:11:15]that people keep avoiding. No, you don't! Heaven knows I try, sir, but there's [00:11:20]no one comes in even to inhale. Right you are, sir, would you like a drop of ale? Mind you, I can [00:11:25]hardly blame them. These are probably the [00:11:30]worst pies in London. I know why nobody cares to take them. I should know, [00:11:35]I make them. But good? No, the worst [00:11:40]pies in London. Even that's [00:11:45]polite. The worst pies in London. If you doubt it, [00:11:50]take a bite. Is that [00:11:55]just disgusting? You have to concede it. It's nothing [00:12:00]but crusting. Here, drink this. You'll need it. [00:12:05]The worst pies in London! And no [00:12:10]wonder with the price of meat what it is, when you get it. Never thought I'd live to see the day. Many think it [00:12:15]was a treat. Finding poor animals what are dying in the street. [00:12:20]Mrs. Mooney has a pie shop, does her business, but I notice something weird. [00:12:25]Lately all the neighbors' cats have disappeared. Have to hand it to her, what I calls enterprise, [00:12:30]popping pussies into pies. Wouldn't do in my shop. Just the thought of it's enough to [00:12:35]make you sick! And I'm telling you that pussy cats is quick! [00:12:40]No denying times is hard, sir, even harder [00:12:45]than the worst pies in London. Only lard and [00:12:50]nothing more, is that just revolting? All [00:12:55]greasy and gritty. It looks like [00:13:00]it's molting and tastes like, well, [00:13:05]pity a woman alone [00:13:10]with limited wind and the worst pies in [00:13:15]London! Ah, sir, [00:13:20]times is [00:13:25]hard. Times is hard![00:13:30][sil.][00:13:45]Mrs. LovettSpit it out, dear. Go on. On the floor. [00:13:50]There's worse things than that down there. That's my boy.[00:13:55]Sweeney ToddIsn't that a room up there over the shop? If times are so hard, why [00:14:00]don't you rent that out? It ought to bring in something.Mrs. LovettUp there? [00:14:05]Oh, no one will go near it. People think it's haunted. You see, years ago [00:14:10]something happened up there, something not very nice. There was a [00:14:15]barber and his wife. And he was [00:14:20]beautiful. A proper [00:14:25]artist with a knife, but they transported him [00:14:30]for life. And he was [00:14:35]beautiful! Barker his name was, [00:14:40]Benjamin Barker.Sweeney ToddTransported, you say? [00:14:45]What was his crime?Mrs. LovettFoolishness. He had this [00:14:50]wife, you see. Pretty little thing. Silly little nit had a [00:14:55]chance for the world on a string. Poor [00:15:00]thing. Poor thing. [00:15:05]There were these two, you see. [00:15:10]Wanted her like mad, one of them a judge, one of them his beadle. Every day they'd [00:15:15]nudge and they'd wheedle. Still she wouldn't budge from her [00:15:20]needle. Too bad, pure thing. [00:15:25]So they merely shipped the poor blighter off south, they did, leaving her with [00:15:30]nothing but grief and a year-old kid. Did she use her head even then? Oh no, [00:15:35]God forbid! Poor fool. Ah, but there was worse yet to come. Poor thing. [00:15:40]Johanna. That was the baby's name. Pretty little Johanna.Sweeney ToddWell? Go on!Mrs. LovettMy, you do like a good story, don't you? [00:15:45]Well, Beadle calls on her, [00:15:50]all polite. [00:15:55]Poor thing, poor thing. The judge, he tells her, is [00:16:00]all contrite. He blames himself for her dreadful plight. [00:16:05]She must come straight to his house tonight. Poor thing, [00:16:10]poor thing.[00:16:15][sil.][00:16:25]Mrs. LovettOf coarse, when she goes there, poor thing, poor thing, [00:16:30]they're having this ball all in masks. There's no one she knows there, poor dear, poor thing, she wanders tormented [00:16:35]and drinks, poor thing. The judge has repented, she thinks. Poor thing. "Oh, where [00:16:40]is Judge Turpin?" she asks. He was there, all right! [00:16:45]Only not so contrite! [00:16:50]She wasn't no match for such craft, you see, and every one thought it so droll. [00:16:55]They figured she had to be daft, you see, so all of them stood there and laughed, [00:17:00]you see, poor soul! [00:17:05]Poor Thing![00:17:10]Sweeney ToddNo! Would no one have [00:17:15]mercy on her?Mrs. LovettSo it is you, Benjamin Barker?Sweeney ToddNot Barker. Todd now. [00:17:20]Sweeney Todd. Where is she?Mrs. LovettSo changed! [00:17:25]Good God, what did they do to you down there in bloody Australia or wherever?Sweeney ToddWhere is my wife? Where's Lucy?Mrs. LovettShe [00:17:30]poisoned herself. Arsenic from the apothecary on the corner. I tried [00:17:35]to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me.Sweeney ToddAnd my daughter?Mrs. LovettJoanna? He's got [00:17:40]her.Sweeney ToddHe? Judge Turpin?Mrs. LovettAdopted her like his own. [00:17:45]You could say it was good luck for her, almost.Sweeney Todd15 years of sweating in a living hell hole on a trumped up charge. [00:17:50]15 years of dreaming that, perhaps, I might come home to a loving wife and child.[00:17:55][sil.][00:18:05]Sweeney ToddLet them quake in their boots, Judge Turpin and the beadle, [00:18:10]for their hour has come.Mrs. LovettYou're going to [00:18:15]get them? You? A bleeding little [00:18:20]nobody of a runaway convict? Not in a million years. You got any money? [00:18:25]Listen to me! You got any money?Sweeney ToddNo money.Mrs. LovettThen how you going to live, even?Sweeney ToddI'll live. [00:18:30]If I have to sweat in the sewers or in the plague hospital, I'll live, and I'll [00:18:35]have them.Mrs. LovettOh, you poor thing! You poor [00:18:40]thing! Wait![00:18:45][sil.][00:18:50]Mrs. LovettSee? It doesn't have to be he sewers of the plague hospital. [00:18:55]When they come for the little girl, I hid them. I thought, who knows? Maybe the poor silly blighter'll be back again someday [00:19:00]and need them. Cracked in the head, wasn't I? [00:19:05]Times as bad as they are, I could have gotten five, maybe ten quid for them, any day. [00:19:10]See? You can be a barber again.[00:19:15][sil.][00:19:20]Mrs. LovettMy, [00:19:25]them handles is chased silver ain't they?[00:19:30]Sweeney ToddSilver, yes.[00:19:35][sil.][00:19:40]Sweeney ToddThese are my friends.

How can you jubilate, [00:23:35]sitting in cages, never taking wing? [00:23:40]Outside the sky waits, beckoning, beckoning, [00:23:45]just behind the bars. How can you remain, [00:23:50]staring at the rain, maddened by the [00:23:55]stars? How is it [00:24:00]you sing anything? [00:24:05]How is it you sing? Green [00:24:10]finch and linnet bird, nightingale, blackbird, how is it [00:24:15]you sing? Whence comes this melody [00:24:20]constantly flowing? Is it rejoicing or [00:24:25]merely hallooing? Are you discussing or [00:24:30]fussing or simply dreaming? [00:24:35]Are you crowing? [00:24:40]Are you screaming? [00:24:45]Ring dove and robinet, is it for [00:24:50]wages, singing to be sold? Have you decided [00:24:55]it's safer in cages, singing [00:25:00]when your told? My cage has many [00:25:05]rooms, damask and dark. Nothing there sings, [00:25:10]not even my lark. Larks never will, you know, [00:25:15]when they're captive. Teach me [00:25:20]to be more adaptive.

What do you, what do [00:26:30]you see up there in those trees? Oh, won't you give, won't you give me a [00:26:35]chance? Who would sail to Spain for all its wonders when [00:26:40]in Kiri's Lane lies the greatest wonder yet? Ah, miss, look at you, [00:26:45]look at you, pale and ivory skin. Oh, look at you looking so sad, so [00:26:50]queer. Promise not to [00:26:55]retreat to the darkness back of your window, not till you, not [00:27:00]till you look down here.

But don't you go [00:28:00]trespassing there, young man! Not if you value your height! Tamper there, [00:28:05]and it's a good whipping for you, or any other youth with mischief on his mind. Hey hoy, [00:28:10]sailor boy! Want it snuggly harbored? Open me gate, but dock it straight! I see it lists to starboard![00:28:15]AnthonyHere, take it and be off with you! Off with you, I say! Off with you, off, I say! Off![00:28:20][music][00:29:10]AnthonyI feel you, [00:29:15]Johanna. I feel you. I was half convinced [00:29:20]I'd waken, satisfied enough [00:29:25]to dream you. Happily I was [00:29:30]mistaken. Johanna, [00:29:35]I'll steal you, Johanna. [00:29:40]I'll [00:29:45]steal you.[00:29:50]Judge TurpinJohanna?

[00:31:05]I'll steal you. Do [00:31:10]they think that walls can hide you? Even now [00:31:15]I'm at your window. I am in the [00:31:20]dark beside you, buried sweetly in [00:31:25]your yellow [00:31:30]hair. [00:31:35]I feel you, Johanna, [00:31:40]and one day [00:31:45]I'll steal you. Till [00:31:50]I'm with you then, I'm with you there, sweetly [00:31:55]buried in your yellow [00:32:00]hair.[00:32:05][music][00:32:30]TobiasLadies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, [00:32:35]perlease! Do you wake every morning in shame and despair [00:32:40]to discover your pillow is covered with hair what ought not [00:32:45]to be there? Well, ladies and gentlemen, from now on you can waken with ease! You need never again have to [00:32:50]worry or care. I will show you a miracle marvelous rare. Gentlemen, you are [00:32:55]about to see something what rose from the dead!UNKNOWNOh![00:33:00]TobiasOn the top of me head. [00:33:05]Scarcely a month ago, gentlemen, I was suddenly struck with a rare Oriental disease. [00:33:10]Though the finest physicians in London were called, I awakened one morning amazed and appalled [00:33:15]to discover with dread that my head was as bald as a novice's knees. I was dying of shame [00:33:20]till a gentleman came, an illustrious barber, Pirelli [00:33:25]by name. He gave me a liquid as precious as gold. [00:33:30]I rubbed it in daily like what I was told. And behold! [00:33:35]Less than 30 [00:33:40]days old! [00:33:45]'Twas Pirelli's Miracle Elixir. That's what did the trick, sir. [00:33:50]True, sir, true. Was it quick, sir? Did it in a tick, sir. Just like [00:33:55]an elixir ought to do. How about a bottle, mister? Only costs [00:34:00]a penny, guaranteed.UNKNOWNPenny buys a bottle, I don't know. Ah, let's go.[00:34:05]TobiasDoes Pirelli's stimulate the growth, sir? You can have my [00:34:10]oath, sir. 'Tis unique. Rub a minute. [00:34:15]Stimulating, isn't it? Soon you'll have to thin it once a week! Penny buys a bottle, [00:34:20]guaranteed.UNKNOWNPenny buys a bottle? Might as well.TobiasHave you ever smelled [00:34:25]a cleaner smell? Penny buys a bottle. Gently dab it. Gets to [00:34:30]be a habit. Soon there'll be enough, sir, somebody can grab it. See that chap with [00:34:35]hair like Shelley's?

Hush, love, hush. [01:06:35]I keep telling you, what's your rush?Sweeney ToddWhy did I wait? You [01:06:40]told me to wait! Now he'll never come again. There's a [01:06:45]hole in the world like a great black pit and it's filled with people who are filled with people who are filled with shit, and the vermin of the world [01:06:50]inhabit it. But not for long! [01:06:55]They all deserve to die. [01:07:00]Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why. Because [01:07:05]in all the of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two. [01:07:10]There's one staying put in his proper place and the one with his foot in the other one's face. Look at me, Mrs. Lovett. Look [01:07:15]at you. No, we all deserve to die. [01:07:20]Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I. Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief. [01:07:25]For the rest of us death will be a relief. We all [01:07:30]deserve to die. And I'll never see [01:07:35]Johanna. No, I'll never [01:07:40]hug my girl to me. Finished! [01:07:45]All right, you, sir. How about a shave? Come and [01:07:50]visit your good friend Sweeney! [01:07:55]You, sir, too, sir, welcome to the grave. [01:08:00]I will have vengeance. I will have salvation. Who, sir? You, sir? [01:08:05]No one in the chair. Come on, come on. Sweeney's waiting. [01:08:10]I want you bleeders. You, sir? Anybody? Gentlemen, now don't be shy. [01:08:15]Not one man, no, nor ten men, [01:08:20]nor a hundred can assuage me. I will have [01:08:25]you! [01:08:30]And I will get him back even as he [01:08:35]gloats. In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats. And my Lucy lies [01:08:40]in ashes, and I'll never see [01:08:45]my girl again. But the work [01:08:50]waits. I'm alive [01:08:55]at last, and I'm full of joy![01:09:00][sil.][01:09:40]Mrs. LovettThat's all very well. But all that matters now [01:09:45]is him. Listen, do you hear me? [01:09:50]Can you hear me? What are we going to do about the Italian?[01:09:55]Sweeney ToddLater on when it's dark, we'll take him to some [01:10:00]secret place and bury him.Mrs. LovettWell, of course, we could [01:10:05]do that. [01:10:10]I don't suppose there's any relatives going to come poking about [01:10:15]looking for him. But [01:10:20]you know me. Bright ideas just pop into me head, and I keep [01:10:25]thinking, seems a downright shame.[01:10:30]Sweeney ToddShame?Mrs. LovettSeems an awful waste. Such a [01:10:35]nice plump frame what's-his-name has, had, [01:10:40]has. Nor it can't be traced. [01:10:45]Business needs a lift, [01:10:50]debts to be erased. Think of it [01:10:55]as thrift, as a gift, if you get my drift. [01:11:00]No? Seems an [01:11:05]awful waste. I mean, [01:11:10]with the price of meat what it is, when you get it, if [01:11:15]you get it.Sweeney ToddHa!Mrs. LovettGood, you got it. Take, [01:11:20]for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop. Business never [01:11:25]better, using only pussycats and toast. Now, a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the [01:11:30]most. And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste.Sweeney ToddMrs. Lovett, what a charming notion. [01:11:35]Eminently practical and yet appropriate, as always. Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived without you all these [01:11:40]years I'll never know. How delectable.[01:11:45][music][01:12:10]Sweeney ToddAh, these are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett, and [01:12:15]desperate measures must be taken.Mrs. LovettHere we are, hot [01:12:20]from the oven.Sweeney ToddWhat is that?[01:12:25]Mrs. LovettIt's priest. Have a little priest.Sweeney ToddIs it really good?[01:12:30]Mrs. LovettSir, it's too good, at least. Then again, they don't commit [01:12:35]sins of the flesh, so it's pretty fresh.[01:12:40]Sweeney ToddAwful lot of fat.Mrs. LovettOnly where it sat.Sweeney ToddHaven't you got poet or [01:12:45]something like that?Mrs. LovettNow, you see the trouble with [01:12:50]poet is how do you know it's deceased? Try the priest.[01:12:55]Sweeney ToddHeavenly! Well, not as hearty [01:13:00]as bishop, perhaps, but then not as bland as curate, either.[01:13:05]Mrs. LovettAnd good for business. Always leaves you wanting more. Trouble is, we only get it in [01:13:10]Sundays. Lawyer's rather nice.[01:13:15]Sweeney ToddIf it's for a price.Mrs. LovettOrder something else, though, to follow, since no one should swallow [01:13:20]it twice.Sweeney ToddAnything that's lean?Mrs. LovettWell then, if you're [01:13:25]British and loyal, you might enjoy royal marine. [01:13:30]Anyway, it's clean. Though, of course, it tastes of wherever it's [01:13:35]been.Sweeney ToddIs that squire on the fire?Mrs. LovettMercy, no, sir. Look closer, you'll notice [01:13:40]it's grocer.Sweeney ToddLooks thicker, more like vicar.[01:13:45]Mrs. LovettNo, it has to be grocer. It's green![01:13:50]Sweeney ToddThe history of the world, my loveMrs. LovettSave a lot of graves, do a lot of [01:13:55]relatives favors.[01:14:00]Sweeney ToddIs those below serving those up above.Mrs. LovettEverybody [01:14:05]shaves, so there should be plenty of flavors.Sweeney ToddHow gratifying for once to know that [01:14:10]those above will serve those down below![01:14:15]Mrs. LovettLet's see, we've [01:14:20]got tinker.Sweeney ToddNo, no. Something pinker.Mrs. LovettTailor?Sweeney ToddSomething paler.[01:14:25]Mrs. LovettPotter?Sweeney ToddSomething hotter.[01:14:30]Mrs. LovettButler?Sweeney ToddSomething subtler.[01:14:35]Mrs. LovettLocksmith?[01:14:40][sil.][01:14:50]Mrs. LovettLovely bit of clerk.Sweeney ToddMaybe for a lark.Mrs. LovettThen again there's sweep if you want it [01:14:55]cheap and you like it dark. Try the financier. Peak of his career.[01:15:00]Sweeney ToddThat looks pretty rank.Mrs. LovettWell, he drank. No, it's bank cashier. Never [01:15:05]really sold. Maybe it was old.Sweeney ToddHave you any beadle?Mrs. LovettNext week, so I'm told. [01:15:10]Beadle isn't bad till you smell it and notice how well it's been [01:15:15]greased. Stick to priest. Now this [01:15:20]may be a bit stringy, but of course, it's fiddle player.[01:15:25]Sweeney ToddNo, no, this isn't fiddle player. [01:15:30]It's piccolo player.Mrs. LovettHow can you tell?Sweeney ToddIt's piping hot![01:15:35]Mrs. LovettThen blow on it first![01:15:40][music]IntermissionThe Demon Barber of Fleet Street In ConcertAct II[01:18:35]TobiasLadies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, perlease? Are your nostrils aquiver and tingling [01:18:40]as well at that delicate, luscious ambrosial smell? Yes they are, I [01:18:45]can tell. Well, ladies and gentlemen, that aroma enriching the breeze [01:18:50]is like nothing compared to its succulent source, as the gourmets among you will tell you, of course. Ladies [01:18:55]and gentlemen, you can't imagine the rapture in store [01:19:00]just inside of this door. There [01:19:05]you'll sample Mrs. Lovett's meat pies, savory [01:19:10]and sweet pies, as you'll see. You who eat [01:19:15]pies, Mrs. Lovett's meat pies conjure up the treat pies [01:19:20]used to be.[01:19:25][music][01:19:40]Mrs. LovettNice to see you, dearie. How have you been keeping? [01:19:45]Cor, me bones is weary. Toby, one of the gentleman. Hear the birdies cheeping, helps to keep it cheery. Toby, throw that woman out! [01:19:50]What's your pleasure, dearie? No, we don't [01:19:55]cut slices. Cor, me eyes is bleary. Toby, none for the gentleman. I could [01:20:00]up me prices. I'm a little leery. Business couldn't be better. [01:20:05]Knock on wood. Excuse me. Dear, see to the customers. [01:20:10]Yes, what, love? Quick, though. The trade is brisk.Sweeney ToddBut it's 6:00.[01:20:15]Mrs. LovettSo it's 6:00.Sweeney ToddIt was due to arrive at a quarter to 5:00.[01:20:20][music][01:21:45]Sweeney ToddIs that a chair fit for a king, a wondrous neat and most [01:21:50]particular chair? You tell me where is there a seat can half [01:21:55]compare with this particular thing. [01:22:00]I have a few minor adjustments to make. They'll [01:22:05]take a moment. I'll call you. I have [01:22:10]another friend.[01:22:15]TobiasIs that a pie fit for a king, a wondrous sweet and most [01:22:20]delectable thing? You see, ma'am, why, there is no meat pie can [01:22:25]compete with this delectable pie. The crust all [01:22:30]velvety and wavy. That glaze, those crimps. [01:22:35]And then the thick, succulent gravy. One [01:22:40]whiff, one glimpse.[01:22:45][music][01:24:55]AnthonyI feel you, [01:25:00]Johanna. I feel you. [01:25:05]Do they think [01:25:10]that walls can hide you? [01:25:15]Even now I'm at your window. I am in the dark [01:25:20]beside you, buried sweetly in your yellow [01:25:25]hair, Johanna.[01:25:30]Sweeney ToddJohanna.[01:25:35][music][01:25:45]Sweeney ToddAnd are you beautiful and pale, with yellow hair like her?

Seven pound nine shilling and four pence for this week. [01:30:45]Not bad. And that don't include what I had to pay out for my nice [01:30:50]cheery wallpaper or the harmonium. And a real bargain it was, [01:30:55]dear, it being only partly singed when the chapel burnt down.Sweeney ToddThere must be [01:31:00]a way to judge.Mrs. LovettThe bloody old judge. Always harping on the bloody old judge! [01:31:05]We got a nice respectable business now, [01:31:10]money coming in regular, and ooh, Mr. Todd, I'm so happy [01:31:15]I could eat you up, I really could! You know what I'd like to do, Mr. Todd, [01:31:20]what I dream? If the business stays as good, where I'd really like to go [01:31:25]in a year or so, don't you want [01:31:30]to know?Sweeney ToddYeah, of course.Mrs. LovettDo you really want to know?Sweeney ToddYes, yes. I do. I do.[01:31:35]Mrs. LovettI've always had this dream ever since I was a little slip of a thing and my rich Aunt Nettie used to take me to [01:31:40]the seaside August bank holiday, the pier, making castles in the sand. I can [01:31:45]still feel me toes wiggling around in the briny. [01:31:50]By the sea, Mr. Todd, that's the life I covet. By the sea, Mr. Todd, oh, I [01:31:55]know you'd love it. You and me, Mr. T, we could be alone in a house what [01:32:00]we'd almost own down by the sea.Sweeney ToddAnything you say.Mrs. LovettWouldn't that be [01:32:05]smashing? With the sea at our gate, we'll have kippered [01:32:10]herring what have swum to us straight from the Straits of Bering. [01:32:15]Every night in the kip when we're through our kippers, I'll be there [01:32:20]slipping off your slippers by the sea. With the fishes splashing [01:32:25]by the sea. Wouldn't that be [01:32:30]smashing, down by the sea?Sweeney ToddAnything [01:32:35]you say. Anything you say.Mrs. LovettI can [01:32:40]see us waking, the breakers breaking, the seagulls squawking, "Ooh, ooh!" I do me baking, then I go walking with [01:32:45]you-hoo, you-hoo. I'll warm me bones on the [01:32:50]esplanade, have tea and scones with me gay young blade. Then I'll knit [01:32:55]a sweater while you write a letter, unless we got better to do-hoo!Sweeney ToddAnything you say.Mrs. LovettThink how snug it'll [01:33:00]be underneath our flannel when it's just you and me and the English Channel. In our cozy [01:33:05]retreat kept all neat and [01:33:10]tidy, we'll have [01:33:15]chums over every [01:33:20]Friday by the sea. Don't you [01:33:25]love the weather down by the sea? We'll grow [01:33:30]old together down by the [01:33:35]seaside, ooh, ooh, by the beautiful sea. [01:33:40]Oh, I can see us now in our bathing dresses, you in a nice rich navy and me, [01:33:45]stripes perhaps. [01:33:50]It'll be so quiet that who'll come by it except a seagull, "Ooh, ooh"? [01:33:55]We shouldn't try it, though, [01:34:00]till it's legal for two-hoo! But a seaside wedding [01:34:05]could be devised, me rumpled bedding legitimized. Me eyelids'll flutter, [01:34:10]I'll turn into butter, the moment I mutter "I do-hoo!" [01:34:15]By the sea in our nest we [01:34:20]could share our kippers with the odd paying guest from the weekend trippers, have a nice [01:34:25]sunny suite for the guest to rest in. Now and then, you could do the [01:34:30]guest in by the sea. Married nice and proper [01:34:35]by the sea. Bring along your [01:34:40]chopper to the seaside, [01:34:45]ooh, ooh, by the beautiful sea![01:34:50][music][01:35:05]AnthonyMr. Todd? Mr. Todd!Sweeney ToddAnthony!AnthonyI've found Johanna. [01:35:10]That monster of a judge has had her locked away in a madhouse.Sweeney ToddWhere? Where?AnthonyWhere no one can reach her, at Fogg's Asylum. Oh, Mr. [01:35:15]Todd, she is in there with those screeching, gibbering maniacs!Sweeney ToddA madhouse? A madhouse! Johanna is as good as [01:35:20]rescued.Mrs. LovettShe is?Sweeney ToddWhere do you [01:35:25]suppose all the wigmakers in London go to obtain their human hair? Bedlam. They get their hair [01:35:30]from the lunatics at Bedlam. For the right amount, they'll sell you the hair off any [01:35:35]madman's head. We'll write a note to this Mr. Fogg offering him the highest price for hair the exact shade of Johanna's, which I trust you [01:35:40]know?AnthonyYellow?Sweeney ToddNo. No, that's not [01:35:45]exact enough. I must make you into a credible wigmaker, and quickly too. There's tawny [01:35:50]and there's golden saffron, there's flaxen and there's blonde. Repeat that. [01:35:55]Repeat that!AnthonyYes, Mr. Todd.Sweeney ToddWell?AnthonyThere's [01:36:00]tawny and there's golden saffron, there's flaxen and there's blonde.Sweeney ToddGood! There's coarse, there's [01:36:05]fine, there's straight, there's curly. There's gray, there's white.[01:36:10][music][01:36:35]AnthonyWith finer textures, ash looks fairer. Which makes it rare, but flaxen's rarer.Sweeney ToddNo, no! The flaxen's cheaper.AnthonyYes, yes, I know. Cheaper, not [01:36:40]rarer.[01:36:45]Sweeney ToddThen off with you, Anthony. And remember, when you have rescued Johanna, bring her here, and I will guard her [01:36:50]while you hire the chaise to Plymouth.AnthonyI'll be with you before the evening's out, Mr. Todd. Thank you, [01:36:55]friend.[01:37:00][music][01:38:40]Sweeney ToddGive this to Judge Turpin. It's urgent.[01:38:45]TobiasI put the sold-out sign up, ma'am.Mrs. LovettThat's my boy.
